Macke appointed to steering committee

Cape Girardeau County Auditor H. Weldon Macke has been named a member of the National Association of Counties Finance and Intergovernmental Affairs Steering Committe by NACo President Javier Gonzales.

NACo's 11 steering committees from the policy-making arm of the association. Each committee is comprised of approximately 60 to 100 county officials who meet several times during the year to examine issues critical to local government.

The Taxation and Finance Steering Committee focuses on financial resources of counties, fiscal management, federal assistance, municipal borrowing, county revenues, federal budget, and federal tax reform.

The steering committee's recommendations on legislative policies and goals are presented to NACo's membership during the association's Annual Conference. If approved, the recommendations become part of the American County Platform, which is the basis of NACo's efforts in representing counties before Congress and the White House.
